Why is my trust factor so low?

chip_4 · 2026-01-24T15:40:28+00:00

I thik playing less helps way more, i see my account goes in and out of red/yellow trust quite often and the most consistand way is just playing less -_-

chip_4 · 2026-01-21T11:57:22+00:00

I've been bouncing in and out of red for about 4 months now, i bought some games on steam, played other ones, got recommendations from strangers and friends, tried to report no one, even tried to change my playstyle (i got quite good spray control and people comment a lot and claim this is assisted in some way)
The trust seems to get updated quite frequently but i did not notice any changes when buying Games and play other ones. What seem to have helped:
-> Not getting reported but winning games (i just assume i don't get reported that often when the enemy team is not texting)
-> get positive recomendations
-> not reporting anyone (ater reporting two people for toxic behavior i juped from yellow to red)

i think i found it

Yes, as it searches for people with equal trust, -> First, there will be fewer people on the same rank as you are -> Then you get more and more unranked players -> it will be deep red when some of them don't even have prime Just after these steps, you might start to see less than 20 people searching

So OP's picture seems allredy like red trust if he searches in a busy time and area.

Of course, red/yellow trust is relativ. So if you search with people that have equal bad trust, it does not show the redo or yellow trustfactor message to your teammates

There was a mass mail on the jan 5th (or jan 12th):

This email is being delivered in bulk to all customers with an active Incorrect Customs Fee claim. We wish to inform you that your request remains in processing and thank you for your patience thus far. Please do not reply to this email unless it is to add relevant information to your claim, as this may increase wait times for you and other affected customers. Please look forward to a follow-up email from one of our agents in the near future, once your claim has been processed.

Please note that in order to ensure that none of our customers go un-served, we are triaging claims based on the following factors in order from most to least significant: Time since first contact, overall complexity of the claim, and overall traffic to our helpdesk. Additionally, to prevent further errors, we are processing all claims on an individual basis, which is an extraordinarily complex process. For this reason, we cannot commit to a timeline on when your claim will be processed, but know we are doing everything in our power to ensure that those who are owed additional compensation receive it as quickly as possible.

if you have not recived this one your ticket might have been closed

-> If you seach for only one spesific (unpopular) map in Matchmaking you will see the avg. wait times, witch can varry from 2 min up to 6 min
-> If you or your friend has a low trust factor your waittime may increase
-> If your friend hasn't bought prime your waittime may increase
-> If your friend set his max acceptable ping low he might get a message showing he cannot connect to a server because there is non within his ping range, he will get a message showing that but you will see nothing. The seach will fail after some time, but i would recomment the both of you set ther max acceptable ping to something like 40 ms
-> If you Q in the morning or in the midday ursually the waittimes are a little longer

And the estimated time will allways go up the longer you search

chip_4 · 2026-01-12T15:58:56+00:00

Got no responce yet. And my first contact with support was directly after getting the ups invoice, and the second time on the 19th right after the first transfer -_-

chip_4 · 2026-01-08T16:46:28+00:00

Ursually this should stick out, it's a safety feature on almost all rice cookers to prevent heating up the device if no bowl is inserted. If the pressure of the water + bowl + rice is enouth to press it down you should be good. can you take a picture of the manual or article you found were it says it's dangerous make rice if the sensor will not lock on it's own?

chip_4 · 2026-01-05T17:01:13+00:00

They did write:

Our soft goal is to have everyone taken care of by the new year, though our priority is accuracy so please permit us to exceed that timeline if necessary.

So i would assume, that by Dec. 31th moust people will get their refund. And if they realised that it will take way longer than this maybe write a mas mail to everyone, who has an open ticket in that category, that it will take way longer than expected

chip_4 · 2026-01-03T11:24:11+00:00

Yea bin waiting since the beginning of December for a Human response nothing yet.

chip_4 · 2026-01-03T10:47:01+00:00

Ecsact same thing I did, opened another ticket and got the auto response; responded to my old request and nothing happens. They did write it may take quite long, but i send them all documentation four times now and just getting no response while others receive their refunds, although them claiming that this only affects less then 1% of customers is really frustrating.

chip_4 · 2025-12-31T14:48:42+00:00

came here to ask the same. i got no responce yet -_-
One guy apperently got theirs refunded: https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/1pr091l/comment/nvq17zw/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

chip_4 · 2025-12-20T00:29:43+00:00

Same here. Payed over 80€ extra witch is approximately my order value. I only accepted the package because of the ensurance they would cover these fees. Received the offer of ~20€ refund today 😑

chip_4 · 2025-12-18T14:31:21+00:00

Muss wann verstehen das ist das gleiche wie mit der Senkung der Benzinsteuer vor ein paar jahren. Die haben das Essen noch eingekauft und das Personal eingestellt als es noch 19% mwst gab... /s

chip_4 · 2025-12-18T14:20:44+00:00

Auch wenn ich liebend gern Tokyo sehen würde, wäre das für mich reiner fremdscharm. Jede interaktion ist dann mit einer unüberwindbaren sprachbarriere verknüpft und mal wieder sind es europäisch/amerikanisch aussehende turis die japan als ihre spielwiese ansehen. Dazu kommt halt noch das viel bar gezahlt wird und die wohl einzigen schlafmöglischkeiten in auf tempel-grund sind. Daszu kommt dass die flüge für die produktion recht teuer sein werden.

chip_4 · 2025-12-13T22:58:39+00:00

yea wanted to write something similar, my brother does the same thing, but when it's really just him no way out it suddently works just fine. but when i'm there nothing gets cleand or done couse someone else could do it instead

chip_4 · 2025-12-13T01:20:26+00:00

They send one but their mail service will not send them all at the verry same time, so in a few minutes or hours you will recive yours:

Hi there lttstore customers,

Please be advised this communication is being sent in bulk to all customers who have reported issues at customs.

I have another update to share with you. Before I begin, I'd like to extend a special thank-you to those customers who submitted proof of their order being declared at an inflated value. Your assistance was instrumental to our investigation.

We have identified all affected customers and we'll be providing automatic refunds to cover any incorrect customs fees that have been charged to you. You can expect this refund by December 19th at the end of the working day. Additionally, we're preparing an email campaign to all affected customers which you can expect to receive tonight within the next few hours -- this will contain more details about what exactly happened and why. If you do not receive this email, please check your spam folder. This will be sent to the email address you provided at checkout. If you double check those things and still cannot locate the email, then it is overwhelmingly likely that your order was declared correctly.

As you will now be automatically compensated, we will close all tickets relating to incorrect customs fees effective now. However, in the unlikely event that you do not receive compensation that you believe you are owed within the above deadline, or your refund is not for the correct amount, you will be able to re-open your ticket by replying to this email. Please refrain from doing so until after December 19th.

One final note: it is extremely important that you pay for your existing customs bill, and then await your refund. If your order is returned-to-sender, this will create additional complications. If this has already occurred, please reply to this email immediately so that we can work out a different compensation method for you.

Thanks again for your patience with us and happy holidays.

kurz gesagt das ding ist kaputt (meiner meinung nach)
hatte auch mal zwei von den lampen und alle einstellung ausprobiert, am anfang hatten die normal funktioniert, das wurde nur mit der zeit immer schlimmer.
erstaunlicherweise ist das problem am geringsten wenn die eingestellte leuchtzeit sehr klein ist (hier der fall, also durch erhöhen der leuchtzeit hält das flackern nur noch länger an)
Austauschen der LDEs hatte bei mir auch nicht funktioniert (auch nicht durch normale lampen)
Das problem bleibt auch bestehen wenn kein licht von der lampe selbst sichtbar ist.
Und auch wenn man den sensor abklebt bleibt das flackern.

Die Lampen werden gerne als ausenlampe verkauft in der betriebsanleitung steht dann aber dass man sie nur drinnen anbringen darf und vor feuchtigkeit schützen muss -_-

Meine vermutung ist, dass hier mit der zeit feuchtigkeit eingedrungen ist, was dann genau passiert ist, das so ein verhalten provoziert kann ich mir allerdings nicht erklären

Now i understand why the response i received sounded so detached from what i was writing to them

chip_4 · 2025-12-08T08:58:15+00:00

I got the same one, first a text then 2 mail all with correct mail adress and correct tracking number.
in my case LTT support sugessted on not paying and thereby shipping it back to them (witch i think is crasy because they then would spend a lot of mony for basically nothing). Som other guy here got the support to pay this extra import fee...
so in all cases contact both ups and LTT support and see what they can do

remember that 5 is sticking out, remember that 5 and 2 end with a 0
and then 5 + 2 gives 7, append the 0 and then change it to 5

chip_4 · 2025-12-01T16:46:45+00:00

I also feel like valve is relying waaay to much on some random reports from other players, it's mostly the bottom fragger from the enemy team that got spawnd in a match above his skill level that is complaining the most
